I recently read a book called How to Stop Self-Sabotage and it has a whole chapter about negative thoughts. According to the book, it starts with a trigger, then followed by our thoughts of fear. These thoughts then cause us to have negative emotions and feelings of either anxiety, anger or regret. Your post is a nice addition to what I learned. Thanks!
